Abstract:
Human metapneumovirus(hMPV)is a common cause of acute lower respiratory infection(ALRI)in children, especially in children aged 2~5 years.The study and mastery of the epidemiological characteristics and transformation patterns of various subtypes of hMPV can lead to a deeper understanding of the distribution areas, epidemiological years and clinical relevance of various subtypes of hMPV.It is important to carry out systematic and comprehensive genotyping and epidemiological study of hMPV to reveal the distribution characteristics and epidemic trend of hMPV.In this review, the research progress in the epidemiology of hMPV is reviewed, which provides ideas for the surveillance, prevention and clinical treatment of hMPV infection, and provides reference for the development of hMPV vaccine and disease prevention and control.
